Thanks for the reply. The formula worked enough not to give me an error but
the result was TRUE instead of counting the instances. On each individual
sheet, I have a formula that calculates which item has the highest sales for
that month. On my summary sheet, I have a list of the items and I want it to
look at each month's sheet and if that item had the highest sales, I want it
to count. Any ideas how I can do that?

Thank you.

Do you want to test if B42 on *ANY* sheet = Summary A3?

Try this:

=SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(INDIRECT("'"&TEXT(ROW
(INDIRECT("1:12"))*30,"mmm")&" 06'!B42"),A3))0

Will return either TRUE or FALSE

Hi Bob. I'm having a hard time using your example to fit my situation.
The
sheet names I want it to check are 'Jan 06', 'Feb 06', 'Mar 06'... ending
in
'Dec 06' (not including the '). I just want it to check one cell on these
sheets, B42, to see if it matches the content of a cell on my current
sheet
('Summary'), A3. Oh, and I'm trying to do COUNTIF instead of simply IF.
Can
you help? Thanks!

Just use

=SUMPRODUCT(SUMIF(INDIRECT("1392"&ROW(INDIRECT("1: 3"))-1&"!$H$3:$H$1002"),"P
e
rformer1",INDIRECT("1392"&ROW(INDIRECT("1:3"))-1&"!$S$3:$S$1002")))/
SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(INDIRECT("1392"&ROW(INDIRECT("1 :3"))-1"!$H$3:$H$1002"),"P
erformer1"))

Sorry - their actual names are 13920, 13921, and 13922

Yes, I used the fact that each sheet started with Sheet and suffixed
by
1,2
and 3 in the formula. What are yours called?

Still not working.....do I need to replace "Sheet" with an actual
sheet
name?
Sorry for being dense. I replaced Performer1 with the actual value
in
the
cell - which is the person's name.

I have a workbook that contains 3 worksheets, one for each vendor

I am
trying to average delivery time (column R) across all 3 sites
based
on
which
performer handled the request (column H). Is this possible?

I am writing a formula that looks like this:



=AVERAGE(IF(Sheet1:Sheet3!$H$3:$H$1002="Performer1 ",Sheet1:Sheet3!$S$3:$S$10
02))

However, this is not working. I also have tried this:



=AVERAGE(IF(Sheet1!$H$3:$H$1002,Sheet2!$H$3:$H$3:$ H$1002,Sheet3!$H$3:$H$1002

="Peformer1",Sheet1!$R$3:$R$1002,Sheet2!$R$3:$R$10 02,Sheet3$R$3:$R$1002))

This is not working either. Is this something that can be done or
should
I
just do a statistical summary sheet and run the formulas from
there?
